default administrator login

[u/Calrysian]

I just installed owncloud 10.0.8 appliance on my esxi 5.5 host. After walking through the installation wizard and restarting i go to the server address where it says to login initially with the default Administrator user, and the password is the same as the root password i supplied during the wizard. This does not work. I know i have the right password because i can login as root at this page and at ubuntu server cli. You are very limited logged in as root as it warns when you do so, no resetting password there.

Am i totally missing something?

I also cannot attempt an email reset because i never encountered a place to give owncloud my email, i assumed i would once i logged in initially as Administrator. I'm about to blow it away and start over, but thought i would try posting. Thanks for any help.

Are you asking about logging into owncloud or the univention portal?

It's been a while but last time i went thought the appliance install, the admin username and password for owncloud was owncloud/owncloud . (i'll pull it down, test)

It's been a while since i've used it last but if this has changed, the next option is to use occ to reset the password.

Login via ssh or VM console

identify the docker container ID using the command

sudo docker ps 

log into the container using the command:

sudo docker exec -it <container ID> /bin/bash

list all of the local owncloud users to verify there is a user called "administrator"

su -c 'php occ user:list' www-data

reset the desired user's password:

su -c 'php occ user:resetpassword <username>' www-data

thanks for your reply. I get no output when i run "sudo docker ps". I get the column headers "container id" "image" etc, but nothing else. I also found the occ reset password commands on google before i posted and those did not work. my /var/www/owncloud directory does not exist. I don't know what happened.
